ARRI Ensō Primes

Image Fidelity & Focus

ARRI Ensō Primes are engineered for large‑format capture, offering edge‑to‑edge sharpness and faithful tonal rendition. With superior close focus, gentle fall-off and minimal breathing, they produce natural images in any shooting situation thanks to a fast T2.1 aperture and precision-aligned optical design.

Handling & Adaptability

Each ARRI Ensō prime focal length shares a uniform, compact housing (117 – 207 mm long, 95 – 156 mm front diameter) with identical gear placements and a 318° focus rotation, enabling rapid lens swaps and precise focus pulls. The ARRI LPL mount’s shorter flange focal depth reduces size and weight, while optional 1.4X/2X Ensō Extenders extend reach without changing the core lens body.

Flare & Bokeh

With single-layer coatings, Ensō Primes deliver subtle vintage flare characteristics without overpowering the image. Bokeh is stunning, and the fast aperture yields creamy, out‑of‑focus backgrounds —perfect for expressive storytelling.

Image Circle

ARRI Ensō Primes fully cover large‑format/open‑gate and standard full‑frame sensors when mounted in ARRI’s LPL mount. The same image circle is more than ample for Super 35 modes. Universal LPL compatibility guarantees consistent edge‑to‑edge coverage without vignetting on these ARRI-supported camera systems: ALEXA 65, ALEXA 35, ALEXA LF, ALEXA Mini LF, ALEXA Classic/XT/SXT, ALEXA Mini, AMIRA

Cinematic Heritage

Designed and manufactured by ARRI—optics innovators since 1917—Ensō Primes build on more than a century of lens excellence. ARRI engineers have been honored with 20 Academy Scientific & Technical Awards and six Engineering Emmys, affirming the groundbreaking optical and mechanical achievements behind the Ensō series.
